  A collection of confessional, hilarious, heartbreaking notes written anonymously on a public typewriter for fans of PostSecret and Other People's Love Letters. 
  When Michael Gustafson and his wife Hilary opened Literati Bookstore in Ann Arbor, Michigan, they put out a typewriter for  anyone to use. They had no idea what to expect. Would people ask metaphysical questions? Write mean things? Pour their souls onto the page? Yes, no, and did they ever. 
  Every  day, people of all ages sit down at the public typewriter. Children  perch atop grandparents' knees, both sets of hands hovering  above the metal keys: I LOVE YOU. Others walk in alone on Friday nights and confess their hopes: I will find someone someday. And some leave funny asides for the next person who sits down: I dislike people, misanthropes, irony, and ellipses ... and lists too. 
  In Notes from a Public Typewriter Michael and designer Oliver Uberti have combined their favorite notes with essays to create an ode to community and the written word that will surprise, delight, and inspire.

  Sweeper In The Sky - The Life of...

  Long before the world began seeking STEM -- science, technology, engineering, and mathematics -- education for girls, American Maria Mitchell proved that women were capable of achieving worldwide acclaim for brilliant reasoning and discoveries. Born in Nantucket in 1818 to a Quaker family, Mitchell had opportunities unavailable to other girls of the time. The Quakers believed boys and girls should be educated, so Maria attended public schools. She also had the benefit of her father's tutelage. At an early age, she loved to perform the complex navigational computations requested by sailors.  
    
  At the age of 29, Mitchell discovered a comet and earned a gold medal from the King of Denmark, the first of many international awards and 
  honors in her illustrious life. She was one of the first women elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and later became the first Professor of Astronomy at the newly-built Vassar College. Throughout her long teaching career, she urged her students to question everything. If a man could achieve success at a venture, so could a woman.  
    
  Forthright and rebellious by nature, Mitchell was beloved by her students. She was a strong proponent of women's rights, traveled widely in the US and Europe, and met with other notable scientists of the time.  
    
  This audiobook was produced to celebrate the 200th anniversary of Maria Mitchell's birth and bring her legacy to a new generation.  
    
  We especially need imagination in science. It is not all mathematics nor all logic; it is somewhat beauty and poetry.

  Ten Years Hard Labour

  Chris Williamson

  For 42 years, Chris Williamson was a Labour Party member. In 2010, he was elected to Parliament to represent his home town. However, in 2019, he was unceremoniously suspended from the party after being subjected to a smear campaign, and he later resigned in protest at the betrayal.
  In this forensic memoir – free of his Labourist clutches – Williamson provides a unique ringside view. As well as lifting the lid on the amateurish politics-by-focus-groups under Ed Miliband, Williamson exposes some of the major events that created and deepened Labour's 'antisemitism crisis' under Jeremy Corbyn.
  In his mission to set the record straight on numerous misreported events, Williamson names and shames the individuals – on the left and the right – whom he holds responsible for delivering his former party back into the hands of New Labourism under Sir Keir Starmer. To understand the existential crisis facing socialists in Britain today, Williamson's account of recent Labour history is indispensable.

At the same time, it offers an image of man consonant with the hopes of radical humanism.The Crisis of Psychoanalysis is a collection of nine brilliant essays.

  “Covers Lincoln’s background in Kentucky and his lifelong association with the state of his birth . . . entertaining . . . well researched.” —Louisville Courier-Journal   Young Abraham Lincoln and his family joined the migration over the Ohio River, but it was Kentucky—the state of his birth—that shaped his personality and continued to affect his life. His wife was from the commonwealth, as were each of the other women with whom he had romantic relationships. Henry Clay was his political idol; Joshua Speed of Farmington, near Louisville, was his lifelong best friend; and all three of his law partners were Kentuckians.   During the Civil War, Lincoln is reputed to have said, “I hope to have God on my side, but I must have Kentucky.” He recognized Kentucky’s importance as the bellwether of the four loyal slave states and accepted the commonwealth’s illegal neutrality until Unionists secured firm control of the state government. In this book, Lowell Harrison emphasizes the particular skill and delicacy with which Lincoln handled the problems of a loyal slave state populated by a large number of Confederate sympathizers. It was not until decades later that Kentuckians fully recognized Lincoln’s greatness and paid homage to their native son.   “An outstanding work.” —James A. Ramage, author of Gray Ghost: The Life of Col. John Singleton Mosby
